Red Sox Set Opening Day Roster Amid Injuries

As the Boston Red Sox prepare for their season opener against the Texas Rangers, they have finalized their 26-man roster with some notable moves. Reliever Liam Hendriks has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation, leading to Brennan Bernardino claiming the final bullpen spot alongside Aroldis Chapman and Justin Wilson. Other players, including Brayan Bello and Lucas Giolito, are also on the injured list, while outfielder Wilyer Abreu and infielder Romy Gonzalez are expected to be ready for Opening Day after recent health concerns. Kristian Campbell has secured a position on the active roster, and the team is set to face a busy schedule with only one off-day in the first three weeks of the season. Additionally, top prospects Marcelo Mayer and Roman Anthony are anticipated to push for promotions as the season progresses. The Red Sox look to build on their offseason changes as they kick off the 2025 season.
